Peerless-AV PLB-1 – Dual Back-to-Back Large Flat Panel Ceiling Mount

PLB-1 – Peerless-AV Dual Back-to-Back Large Flat Panel Ceiling Mount

The Peerless-AV PLB-1 dual back-to-back flat panel ceiling mount is engineered to support two large displays simultaneously in retail, commercial, and high-traffic public environments where double-sided visibility is required.

Product Description

The PLB-1 addresses a fundamental requirement in double-sided digital signage: mounting two displays back-to-back from a single ceiling drop point so that content is visible from both directions simultaneously. This approach eliminates the need for separate mounting hardware for each display and produces a symmetrical, professional overhead installation consistent with high-end retail and corporate environments.

The PLB-1 is built from steel and carries a combined maximum load capacity of 300 lbs, providing a substantial safety margin for heavy commercial flat panel displays. It is designed for use with plasma screens in the 32-inch to 50-inch range and LCD screens 30 inches and above, making it compatible with the commercial display sizes most commonly specified in dual-sided signage applications.

Installation requires two PLP adaptor plates, an ADD, AEC, or EXT extension column, and a DCS or DCT ceiling plate (all sold separately as part of the Peerless-AV modular column system). Note: not compatible with AEC006009, EXT002, or EXT006 models. The PLB-1 is made in the United States and backed by Peerless-AV's 5-year limited warranty.

Two PLP adaptor plates, one ADD, AEC, or EXT extension column, and one DCS or DCT ceiling plate are required and sold separately. These components are all part of the Peerless-AV modular column system. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for a complete parts list for your specific installation.

Is the PLB-1 compatible with displays larger than 50 inches?

The PLB-1 is rated for plasma screens up to 50 inches and LCD screens 30 inches and above. For larger display configurations, contact the Creation Networks team to identify the correct dual-display mounting solution for your project.

What is the maximum combined weight the PLB-1 can support?

The PLB-1 is rated to a maximum combined load capacity of 300 lbs across both displays. This provides a substantial safety margin for typical commercial flat panel display weights in the supported size range.
